Here’s my baby

Got a clamping jig designed and the right bit found

If only i was 7 years older

Enfield?

If you can be confident that they take the same current i cant see an issue

I also think less scripted material would be good. Maybe with something like the neck stuff from spondon could have been a conversation

Not sure I’m too skilled but I’ve got a bench drill

Looks beautiful jez, you’ve beat me on this one

I love them and i'm incorporating them in some future builds (hopefully)

Here’s the link to the talkbass post: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/headless-full-carbon-fiber-bass.1064945/

The benefit is very similar there’s a one piece carbon fiber bass build on talk bass that I’ll hunt for in the morning. The method for a full composite one piece carbon neck is this: Make a plug, make a mold from it, lay up 4 layers of CF in it, take it out, if using a truss make something to hold it and adhere it inside the carbon neck shell, fill the hollow neck with a poly based foam and glue a fretboard. The only structural difference between this and what I’m doing with MDF is the core. As MDF is a stableish material it won’t move much and due to the carbon reinforcements the truss is only needed if you want to fine tune your relief. The full carbon neck (as long as the same amount of layers of fabric is used) is the same strength but much lighter due to the poly foam core. This also only needs a truss for fine relief adjustments. In short, there’s not much difference apart from weight

A change of plan! As suggested by the wonderful @SpondonBassed I’m going to make the thru neck from MDF and wrap that in carbon fiber. I’m also tempted by acrylic wings.

Definitely contact Jim fleeting. Hes a Luthier in stockport and has made an amazing 6.

Nice job

Did someone say composite?

Nothing terrible, just new stuff

Yes, yes I am.

Is jebroad way out of their depth in composites materials?

It looks like a standard PCB mount pot, do you know it’s resistance?

If we do hats, can we make a new website with the domain, basshat.co.uk?

I’ve got a cast iron router table top and aluminium slider for a table. If you’re interested jez, message me

Very much so. Theres also no output
